[Chapter 12]
"We're back." Lilith says bluntly as her eyes land on the five and narrow, "Who are they?" She spots (Y/n) instantly and her glare only hardens, "And why is she here?"
"Surprise." (Y/n) says with a roll of her eyes, "Miss me?"
"Yes-." Brick and Mordecai respond before getting cut off by Lilith's glare at them. They gulp shake their heads, "No." They both say before nodding their heads that they did miss her when Lilith looks away. (Y/n) giggles softly but immediately goes back to being serious.
"I thought I made it clear that I never wanted to see your face ever again?" Lilith says while walking towards them.
"And I followed your wish. I came back five months ago and didn't crawl back to you." (Y/n) snapped.
"I heard." Lilith says and stepping up to (Y/n). She gets off the stool and steps up to the siren without showing any fear.
"So what's your problem?" (Y/n) sneered as she glared, Lilith only glares back.
"My problem is you being here when I clearly said to not be, you little traitor." Lilith growled.
"You disowned me, call me a traitor, and cut me out of your life. That makes me a simple stranger to you, asking for help." (Y/n) growled back and there's nothing but silence as they two women glare at each other, both giving off a negative atmosphere.
"Boy I sure am thirsty. Hey, Moxxi, how about a drink for everyone, drinks are on me." Mordecai says, breaking the silence as everyone goes back to what they were doing and the music starts back up.
"Coming right up." Moxxi says as she began making drinks, "Hey, (Y/n), sugar. I don't think you introduced your lovely friends to us yet." She says while trying to break the tension between Lilith and (Y/n). The young woman smiles innocently up at Lilith.
"With pleasure, since we're having a lovely family reunion and all."
"You're not family." Lilith growled and she ignores her.
"Guys, meet my friends; Sasha, Fiona,Vaughn,and Rhys. Friends, meet my family; Moxxi you've met already, Mordecai, Brick, and Zer0." (Y/n) says as Moxxi hurriedly hands out drinks, shoving a drink in (Y/n) and Lilith's hand.
"What about her?" Vaughn asks while pointing to Lilith, (Y/n) gasps and placed a hand on the side of her face.
"Oh! And how could I forget," (Y/n) looks at Lilith as her smile goes away, "That's Lilith. I won't consider her as family because she disowned me and basically shut me out of her life. But don't worry about her, she's not that important right now." Lilith snarled and the glass in her hand breaks into pieces from how tight she held it in anger. Everyone flinches as gives Lilith another drink.
"Why you little-."
"Hey! So what was that you and your friends needed help with, (Y/n)?" Moxxi asks, cutting Lilith off, "Because we're happy to help."
"No we're not-."
"Well, I need a ton of ammo for a mission and a vehicle that could fit all of us to get to Atlas. We also need Zer0 to come with us."
"Me?" Zer0 asks and points to himself, "Sure."
"We'll help you out." Mordecai says.
"No you're not!" Lilith shouts and causing a burst of energy to burst out, making their surroundings shake, "We are not helping you, (Y/n). You're not going to Atlas and Zer0 is definitely not going with you."
"Aw 😞..." Zer0 murmured.
"Why not?" (Y/n) asks with a frown, Lilith scoffs and crosses her arms.
" 'Why not'? Because I said so! You chose to take his side after all we did for you for the last 16 years before he took you and when we come to take you back, you lay us off! So no,we're not helping you."
"You killed him!"
"He killed thousands of Vault Hunters like us."
"You killed his DAUGHTER."
"He killed ROLAND! He was the one who told us to take you in. He gave you a chance in life and your so called 'boyfriend' killed him. And what did you do? Nothing. Did you even care?"
"I did!"
"But you didn't! If you did, you would have left that place and helped us kill him at the Vault of the Warrior. But you 'didn't want to take sides', I say that's utter bullshit you traitor!"
"I didn't take sides, Lilith! And I did care! Roland was like a dad that I never had! Because I never knew my parents! None of you would tell me who they were and where I came from, that's all I wanted since I was 9 years old. All I wanted was to know who I really was and you wouldn't tell me! I'm fucking 24 years old now, I deserve to know!" (Y/n) says, on the brink of tears. Lilith's rageful expression doesn't change as her eyes pierced hers. Everyone stayed silent and only watched.
"You wanna know where you came from?" Lilith sneered, "You really want to know?"
"Lilith, don't-." Mordecai says before she puts her hand up at him.
"She said she wanted to know, so now she will."
Moxxi takes a step forward to try and break up the fight, "But Roland said-."
"It doesn't matter now, Mox! You know why? Because he's dead!" Lilith snapped at her before glaring back at (Y/n), who glared at Lilith with tears threatening to fall. "Since you want to know so badly, your parents, (Y/n), your parents were bandits." Lilith spat venomously. (Y/n)'s heart stops for a quick second she stares at Lilith.
"No... That... That's not true..."
"Oh but it is. 20-21 years ago, we raided a bandit camp. This bandits camp was different from the others because its clan had the larger number of bandits out of the other clans. They were causing havoc across the Dust for years and we finally had enough. We killed all the bandits there, and we killed the two leaders of the clan. We thought we killed every last bandit but we thought wrong. Because minutes after killing the leaders, we heard a baby crying in one of the shacks. It was the leaders' home, the two were a couple. And sitting there was a crying 3 year old baby girl. I was going to kill her, but Roland stopped me and suggested that we take her in and raise her as one of us. And you could guess who that was." (Y/n) looks down as she processed this new information, "The couple, the two leaders of that bandit clan, were your parents. You were that crying child of theirs and seconds of meeting the same fate as them. But Roland gave you a chance and we all raised you as our own for 16 years. And four years ago was how you repay your debt to us and to Roland for letting you live. By letting your psychopathic, narcissistic boyfriend kill him." Everyone's silent as they look between the two. (Y/n) never looks up as her hands were clenched into fists. "There you have it, (Y/n). Now you know the truth that you've been desperately wanting to know for years. How does it feel? Awful right? To find out that you were born and raised as a bandit." Lilith hissed, "And you took that position like a selfish bandit would."
"Lilith, stop." Moxxi says, "That's enough."
"Your boyfriend killed my fiancé, that bastard deserved to get killed for his crimes. And he hated bandits didn't he?"
"Stop pushing it, Lilith." Mordecai warned.
"He killed thousands of Vault Hunters, but millions of bandits. If he ever found out that you were born a bandit, he could've killed you right then and there." Lilith says harshly before tilting her head to the side a bit, "But look, all we wanted was to protect you. We spared your life." (Y/n) sneers and looked at Lilith finally, tears of anger are falling down at a rapid pace, hate and rage in her eyes as her ECHO eye glowed a bright red.
"I wish you killed me!" She shouts, throwing the drink that was still her hand across the room as it smashed loudly when hitting the wall and sending the liquor and pieces of glass flying in different directions. Everyone flinch at the loud crash and look at (Y/n) in shock. "I wish you shot me, Lilith. I didn't ask to be spared, I was only a toddler who didn't even know what was happening in the real world. Now that I know that not only have you killed the person that I was in love with, you killed my parents! And kept it a secret from me for all these years! That's not protecting me, that's practically taking me from the only people who were my actually my family and teaching me to kill those who I was gonna grow up to be. Well guess what, I don't want to be like you or them! I'm not a killer, but yet I am because I've been killing all my life!" (Y/n) angrily cried and wiping her eyes with her arm as the tears continued to fall, "Everyone at Hyperion aren't good guys. You're not the good guys. Jack wasn't a good guy. My parents weren't good guys. Everyone on Pandora and on Helios aren't good guys! I'm not even a good guy! No one is! Because the world that we live in is fucked to an oblivion! We're all but a lost cause waiting for the end to come to wipe us out, or waiting to wipe each other out. So good job, Lilith. You spared another bad guy." She snapped hoarsely as her nose started to bleed and her eye continued to glow, "I wish you killed that 3 year old baby girl, because she's nothing but a filthy and selfish bandit." Lilith stares down at her in shock and a sudden wave of guilt washed over her as she realized the amount of hate that was written all over (Y/n)'s face towards her. She opens her mouth to say something before (Y/n) clicks her tongue and sniffs. "Don't even bother. I'm a traitor aren't I? And you never wanted to see me ever again. You know, I was hoping we could start over and forget what happened four years ago. But it's pointless, isn't it?" (Y/n) wipes her nose and smears blood over her cheek, "Tch. Fuck you too, Lilith." She starts moves past Lilith, shoving her shoulder harshly against her as she walked past her, "If any of you need me, I'll be far away so you don't hear me blowing my brains out." (Y/n) growled and leaving the bar. Everyone watched her leave in silence before looking at Lilith, who stood there with tears brimming her eyes.
"You were practically asking for it, sweets." Moxxi says softly and walking over to Lilith. She looks at the four friends, "Can one of you guys go get her before she does something that she and Lilith will regret later?" The four look at each other with uncertain looks before Rhys stands.
"I'll go." He says before hurrying out of the bar.
"Okay everyone, back to your business." Brick says and everyone takes a deep breath and turn away to go back to what they were doing.
"Come sit down, sugar." Moxxi says as she sat Lilith down on a bar stool, "Both of you said what you two had to say and just need a moment to yourselves. Here, drink a bit." She says as she gives Lilith a shot.
"What have I done...?" Lilith says shakily as a few tears fall.
